CentOS 5.4 vs. OpenSuSE 11.2 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 Benchmarks

Phoronix: CentOS 5.4 vs. OpenSuSE 11.2 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 Benchmarks

With the release of CentOS 5.4 last month to bring this community enterprise operating system on par with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, we decided it was a good time to see how the server / workstation performance between this new CentOS release compares to that of Ubuntu 9.10, which was released last week, and also how it performs up against the release candidate of OpenSuSE 11.2. In this article are these benchmarks.

Actually that's not phoronix's job, that is the responsibility first of the distro's community to see if it is truly a kernel regression or a misconfiguration as their configs vary distro to distro. Regressions should only be submitted when running a generic kernel and most distro's do some customization to the kernel and do not use the same configs. If it is found that it is actually a kernel regression then the distro can always send it upstream.

So, on what kernel version and file system does sqlite not get bogged down?

I'm planning to do a clean install of 9.10 Ubuntu server and sqlite will be used frequently on that.

I have upgraded one of the machine to use 9.10 server from 9.04 server, which kept the ext3 partition but the phoronix-test-suite went pretty slow on sqlite afaik, something like 150 seconds per test on a ssd with 120+mb/s read and probably half that for write.
